just deliver gifts. feels like one of those times. >> it writes itself. >> and all i can say is all you have to do keep an affair secret to be head of the cia, i think i'm qualified to be head of the cia. >> you're just saying. >> i'm just saying. that were me i'm very good at keeping things on the hush, hush. >> won't push that one. rudimentary steps, using g-mail when you're the head of the cia, probably not the best way to cover it. >> the way terrorists and teenagers communicate, apparently. >> he e-mailed somebody over 45,000 times. >> he's busy. >> where does he get that kind of time? >> even if that's a family member you're e-mailing, that's inappropriate. way, way too much. >> well, they are reviewing something like 20,000 pages of documents which could fill the like riff congress on one man's e-mail exchanges. >> wow. only had afghanistan and iraq and iran and all that other stuff to deal with so maybe he just wasn't that busy, i don't

know. >> they found some time. >> we've got to talk about this restaurant review. >> take two. >> from the "new york times." >> our take two. absolutely brutal, funny to some people but probably not that funny to guy fieri talking about his new restaurant, "guy's american kitchen & bar" right here in times square. pete wells is the restaurant critic who writes in the "times." sampling written in the form of question. guy fieri, have you eaten at your new restaurant in times square? did you notice the menu was an unreliable predictor of what actually came to the table? >> i like this one. >> did you try that blue drink the one that flows like nuclear waste? >> and it goes on and on and on. what exactly about a small salad with four or five miniature croutons make guy's big bite cesare big, b, famous and talks about the awesome pretzel chicken tenders, how far from awesome are they. >> and when we hear the word

deserves to be the restauranteur that he is. we eel have him on hopefully tomorrow and let him go at it. absolutely. >> those could all be people he had an affair with and he's just getting back at him. >> thank you. >> takes the bad review to the next level. >> take three. all right. take a look at this >> i can't get over this. >> this can't be real. you put this in on your baby, they crawl around and clean the floor. >> kind of ingenious. this thing is selling like hot cakes. >> so the creator says. >> supposedly. some folks -- is this $40 on betterthanpants.com which is an odd site. for the parent who isn't able to give their child everything, give them dust mites and bacteria. >> ridiculous. >> i love it. >> real quick on that, somebody who actually wrote in. i've got to say i love these, bought a dozen of these for my day care. this can't be real. all my kids wear them and my

another little show "american idol." a little family rivalry there? >> a competition household. >> who wins? >> definitely the better show. >> and you're hosting the halo awards next week. >> yes. this is the fourth year, an awards show that i created for team nick and nickelodeon. got tired of celebrities going to awards shot and kicking each other's butts and i said let's shine the lights on proper things, young people doing amazing things in their communities, and halo sends for helping and leading others, and in a time like this when the millennials are doing so much, we just need to recognize them. we have justin bieber, tyra banks, emma stone. >> no butt kissing anywhere. >> no, it's all about the young people. they forget our celebrity and stuff. >> busy man. competition inside your own house while you chase twins. boy, nick cannon, thanks so much. >> good luck with it. >> thank you. >> now a quick cheow >> good morning.

what's the rush? it's the dream of every author to hit the best-seller list, so imagine if your first novel not only hit the list but stayed there for almost a year, sold 18 million copies and was translated into 41 languages. that's exactly what happened to paul young's bok "the shack." now he's out with his second

spiritual novel called "crossroads." nice to see you. >> good to be here. >> this must be an incredible moment and journey. wrote the first book "the shack," i understand 15 copies were written maybe. wrote it for your kids and now 18 million copies in circumstance laying. how did you get from 15 to 18 million? >> god has a sense of humor, you know. what i think is my friends are the ones who first ended up giving it away and it began to penetrate in people's lives in a way nobody saw coming. >> what is it about this book because a lot of people write novels and they sit on the shelf and the families are the only ones who read this. why did this one penetrate? >> "the shack" gave people a language to have conversation about god and pain and great losses without it being a religious conversation. >> it's not a religious conversation. people try to pinpoint what kind of books they are, religious, spiritual, how would you describe it? >> 26 publishers turned it down

because they couldn't figure out what genre it was and we still don't know. >> how are they feeling now, the 26? >> some are grateful because it opened up a whole readership that they didn't know exist the. a lot of publishing or music is always backwards looking what. are the demographics, what have we sold and let's do it again so creativity gets sometimes squeezed into a very narrow funnel, and so i think the publishing industry as a whole was grateful something game through, especially when readership has been dropping off and things like that. >> you've given a lot of personal stories of your life. you did that in "the shack." >> it's much more autobiographicaled and there's no way the writer can't put that in. i'm in some of the characters. tony is an unlike al egotistical and self-centered guy. >> couldn't be autobuyingical. >> if you could g back far

enough you'll see tony in my own skin. >> you've had critics, whenever you become successful who say when they come out of the woodwork, your books are not true to the bible, and that they misrepresent the holy trinity. >> for one thing, angry people are involved in the conversation. if they are ambivalent they just don't care and what i love about people who are at least involved in the conversation is they are not telling me about me because i already know about me. if i'm not defensive, if my identity is not at risk here, i'm listening for them to tell me about them, because that's what they are doing. what matters to them, what they are afraid of, what concerns them, and that really does open up a conversation, so i love the controversy. i think -- i think we -- we need to ask these kinds of questions, and they are very human questions. they are very real questions. they are very precious questions, and so i'm not opposed to that kind of, you know, iron-sharpening, the ironing the angles right. >> the new book is "crossroads,"

paul young. 18 million on the first one. see how you do on this one. >> every day has one day's worth of grace. we'll find out. willie, thank you. >> great to see you. >> up next, one direction performs one of their biggest hits. that's right after this.

[ sally umlaut ] it's greek-style yogurt. thick, scrumptious, and more protein than those regular yogurts. are those almonds i see in the corner thingy? caramelized almonds i think you'll find. well, who wants ordinary run-of-the-mill almonds when you could have the caramelized kind? if i was this girl, i'd caramelize my whole apartment. weird. this greek style yogurt has style. you can say that again. why thank you.

this greek style yogurt has style. okay. stop saying it now. you're sending me mixed messages. [ male announcer ] muller. the european for yummy.
